The Only Thing Holding Your Business Back

One morning you get a knock at your door.

Standing there is a gentleman wearing a suit and holding a clipboard. It looks like something "official." And then you glance past him and notice there are about a thousand buckets turned upside down in your front yard.

"What's going on?" you ask, rather puzzled.

The gentleman with the clipboard lays it out for you: "Sir, in your yard, you see 1,111 upside-down buckets. One million dollars in cash is under one of those buckets. It's yours if you can find it. You have one hour. Good luck!"

Now, what would you do?

One option would be to start scrambling to turn over every bucket in your yard to find the $1 million. But you had better work fast because you'd have to turn over one bucket every 3.24 seconds to get to them all.

That fantasy scenario is not likely to happen. But you are presented with a somewhat similar scenario in your business every day.
